VoiceJournalBuddy is a journal you speak instead of type. Tap record, say what's on your mind, and your words appear as text — punctuated, dated, and saved. A full entry takes about as long as it takes to say it out loud. That difference matters more than it sounds. Most journals die because typing an entry feels like a chore at exactly the moment you have something worth writing down. Talking doesn't. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Speech is transcribed by your iPhone's built-in on-device recognition — your voice is not sent anywhere to be processed. Entries are stored in local storage on your device. There is no account to create, no server, no sync, and no analytics. Nothing you write is transmitted, and nothing is ever seen by us. Face ID (or your passcode) locks the app on launch and again after it's been in the background, so your journal stays shut even if your phone is unlocked and in someone else's hand. HOW IT WORKS Press the microphone and start talking. A live waveform responds to your voice and words appear as you speak, with punctuation added automatically. Stop whenever you're done, then edit the text, give it a title if you want one, and save. Each recording runs up to three minutes — tap "Record more" to keep dictating into the same entry for as long as you need. Every entry is timestamped the moment you save it and filed by day, so your journal builds itself in order: Today, Yesterday, This week, and back through the months. WHAT'S INSIDE • Live voice-to-text with automatic punctuation and a responsive waveform • Automatic timestamps and day-by-day grouping • A rotating daily prompt for the days you don't know where to start • Folders — file entries by theme and filter the list to one folder at a time • A calm reading view with a serif typeface and a word count with read time • Add to an old entry later, by voice or by keyboard • Select several entries at once to move, delete, or export • Export any entry or set of entries as a plain text file through the iOS share sheet — Mail, Files, Messages, AirDrop, wherever you want it • Face ID app lock • Full light and dark mode, with a warm palette designed to be easy on the eyes at night • Gentle haptic feedback throughout A NOTE ON LANGUAGE Dictation is currently English (US) only. Everything else in the app works regardless of what you write, but speech recognition will not transcribe other languages accurately yet. PRIVACY JournalBuddy collects nothing. No account, no email address, no usage data, no crash reporting, no advertising identifiers, no third-party SDKs of any kind. Your entries live on your phone, and they stay there unless you choose to export them yourself. Start with one entry. Say the thing you'd have forgotten by tomorrow.
